Story about this misheard lyric by: VuduJewel

I discovered this song earlier this year and have grown to really like it. Each time I'd sing along to it, at the beginning of the lyrics, I thought they were saying "Deep in this s***, the people live in the streets" talking about bad neighborhoods and such. I'm planning to play this on an upcoming radio program, and I wanted to make sure there were no swear words like I interpreted, so I did a Google search and saw the lyrics were different than what I heard. The way he says "deep in the shi-ty (city) people live in the streets" I thought it was like "Deep in this s*** the people live in the streets..." So, that's what I thought up until now.
